Alex, but make it Alexander on bc.

Have we helped you make a decision @Crazykat21

We have a Jacob Arthur and people always compliment his name xx

Astronica · 08/03/2020 12:05

Alexander Jacob is a really good name.

CaffiSaliMali · 08/03/2020 10:08

I prefer Alex. If you put Alexander on the BC he has lots of options - Alex, Alec, Xander and Sandy.

Not a fan of Jacob, I think it's the 'ob' part. It's a perfectly fine name though.

Alexander Jacob is a nice name - very distinguished.

Thefaceofboe · 08/03/2020 10:00

Jacob Alexander is lovely.

Lycanthropology · 08/03/2020 09:43

Both good, solid names.

I probably prefer Alex though.

SallyWD · 08/03/2020 07:56

Both are good. I prefer Jacob.

CoalCraft · 08/03/2020 07:46

Jacob! I love Jake as a nn too

Alex

mytypeonpaper · 07/03/2020 21:07

Alex is my number 1 baby name. Has been since I was young

Rainbowqueeen · 07/03/2020 21:05

Great choices!! Why not wait and see what suits baby best

I think Matthew would work with either as a middle name. Also like a lot of what what’s your Flack suggested except jasper with Jacob sounds a bit matchup for me

Whatsyourflava · 07/03/2020 20:59

Really LOVE both!

Middle name ideas: Eli, Ellis, Barnaby, Seth, Otis Eric Caleb Sidney Kit/Christopher, Nathan, rafferty, Miles/Milo, Blake, Casper, Jasper.....

Spied · 07/03/2020 20:05

Alex.
I do really like Jacob. The only way I could choose was by thinking of the Jake sound in Jacob - and I really dislike JakeGrin

CalleighDoodle · 07/03/2020 20:01

Alex

Lostintransfixation · 07/03/2020 20:01

Actually either name with the other as a middle, work equally well.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/03/2020 20:01

I like both.

Easy middle name
